It's Time to "Get Pumped"

Here's a tip, boys: The way to a woman's heart is through her feet. It's no secret that women love shoes, a guilty pleasure known to cause varying amounts of physical and financial distress. Although TSR typically recommends casual, comfortable fashion for female sports fans, it's always fun to inject a little team spirit in unexpected places. If you love shoes and sports, get ready to fall in love with Get Pumped.

Gina Corrao, a senior graphic designer at Million Dollar Media in Woodbridge, NJ, started Get Pumped by accident. Her office colleague was a diehard New York Giants fan and in celebration of her 30th birthday, Corrao decided to make her a pair of Giants-themed pumps. She did it jokingly, hoping it would be a fun surprise, but little did she know where those shoes would take her.

Corrao's creative process is collaborative and flexible. Customers can create their own design or rely on her skills to transform these shoes into their own personal fashion statement.

Check out some of her featured designs:

Giveaway Alert: Get Pumped has teamed up with TSR to give away a FREE*custom* pair of Get Pumped shoes to one very lucky reader! Corrao will personally work with you to design a pair of shoes in your favorite team. To enter, you must do ALL of the following:

1) Comment on this post to tell TSR which team you'd feature on your pumps (be sure to include your name, too).

OMG!!!! i MUUUUST have these! USF Bulls (naturally) or if we're only doing pro teams i'll go with the Red Sox or Magic :) TSR has been finding the most awesome fashions ever! keep up the good work LOVE IT!

What a fabulous idea! I can see it now, a sparkly pair of green and gold pumps strutting down the street showing some love for the one and only USF Bulls. That'll turn a head or two... :) Gotta love my Bulls!-Melinda Dale

I am a huge shoe fan and these are awesome! If I won, (fingers crossed), I would have to bring some south to the designs. I would kill for USF shoes, but if it had to be pro teams, some beautiful teal and orange Miami Dolphins pumps would be adorable! Love the blog girl..keep it up!

Buuuut i want to win- why? because i love wearing heels. I would want Philadelphia Flyers heels. They will be the easiest to make because their colors are black and orange.

Since the Flyers most likely always make the playoffs, and since the hockey season is extremely long, in a great way, i can sport these beauties with Jeans and my Jagr or Pronger jersey, or a cute LBD. Love your blog and I hope hope HOPE i win!

I would love a pair of USF Green and Gold Pumps!! Go BULLS \m/ I have been looking to make a pair myself but I am not that creative! ;) haha. If I couldnt have a college team I would love to have a pair of NFL Red, Pewter and Black - Tampa Buccaneers pumps! Love your work! Hope I win!! =)

This is awesome! I'd love a pair of Atlanta Braves pumps. Can't wait for baseball season!!!! (USF Bulls second however. Living in Atlanta, I'll get more out of Braves gear.) Great contest!!!! - Emily Stone

Oh wow, these are great! I love the bold graphics mixed with girlish charm. So many hometown teams to chose from-- Rays, Bulls, Storm, Lightning, FC Tampa Bay-- but I would absolutely love a pair of Get Pumped shoes for the Lightning. Thanks for introducing us to this great product, TSR!
